Hi folks,
Just purchase SIG P250 9mm and want to add conversion kit to 45ACP.
Any suggested Vendors that may have this in stock?
Any experiences you may have had doing this?
Pro/Con's doing this.
What price should I expect to pay or you may have paid?
Thanks for the feedback.

Does such a thing exist?

I have never seen a 9mm to .45 in any gun I don't believe.

For the P250 the trigger assembly is the heart (serial #'ed) of the gun. Frame size and caliber can be switched around.

I owned one before and it sometimes had light hammer strikes, apparently this was an inherent problem with the fresh new ones. Don't know if they fixed the issue but the pistol's concept is more of a gimmick that's fading away, imo.
 
I like the 250. I played with two(9 and 40)last year. Had no stoppages with factory ammo(150 of 9mm grn ? And 150 of 40sw 165grns). I would love all four cals made for this pistol. And wish a 22lr conversion was made. But l not made of money i settled with 2 xd 40's.
 
The P250 is a fine gun and meets many needs. Unfortunately SIG really dropped the ball and failed to provide the conversion kits as fast as they had led us to believe. I have yet to see any dealer in Canada with any of them. I have dealt with Top Gun in the US and they have had some on occasion. For the 45 kit, it comes with the larger grip frame, a slide and a mag for around $260US. Hard part is finding it.

Having put a lot of rounds through a few of them for testing, and knowing a bunch of guys in a DHS agency that dumped the P250, I have to disagree that it is a fine gun, and it meets many needs.

Unless your needs are for a paperweight, door stop, ineffective hammer, etc.
 
We obviously have different opinions and thats healthy. I too have put many rounds through it without failure. The only complaint I would have is with respect to the length of pull but for a DA only gun its okay. Each agency has their own criteria when choosing a firearm and there is seldom a clear winner. Think back to what Beretta went through with the US military and the repercussions shortly after.

I don't have an opinion of the guns, I have facts based on testing as well as reports and talks with counterparts in the US. I really wanted to like them, they carried nice, and were really accurate. But reliability and dependability was horrible.

My idea of a lot of rounds is in the high tens of thousands. And that's not accounting for the other guys that were shooting the guns as well.

The DHS agents refused to carry the gun because there were so many issues and problems during testing that it t was a workplace hazard. There were some backroom deals by Sig to get the agency the guns so Sig would have a big marketing tool. It didn't work out so well.
 
I agree with the testing process numbers. I wonder which version they tested as SIG made 2 versions most likely as a result of the less than impressive testing by government agencies. I am sure there are many deals cut between manufacturers and client as is the case with most contract deals, however, there are numerous LE agencies using that firearm in N.America as well as Europe(European model differs slightly). For the civilian market, it meets the needs of many and there are numerous folks who speak highly of it. I shall leave it there as its unfair to the OP to continue but he needs to do some investigation and come to his own conclusions.
